We hired Abbey as our day of coordinator for our wedding. Because of her, I was truly able to relax and be present on our wedding day, knowing everything was handled.
She took care of so many small details which made the entire day run smoothly. When my brother came in from out of town and the arm of his suit jacket ripped, she stepped in and sewed it without hesitation. When we realized one of the place cards had a typo, she already had her calligraphy pens on hand and fixed it beautifully. Those little moments could have been stressful, but she handled them effortlessly.
She was also incredibly hands-on with setup and tear down, making sure everything was exactly where it needed to be and that nothing was overlooked. Her attention to detail, preparedness, and calm presence made all the difference.
If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, don’t be. She went above and beyond in ways we never expected and allowed us to fully enjoy our day. We are so grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Abbey at Blissful Events by Abbey is truly exceptional. When I first got engaged, I was convinced I didn’t need or want a wedding planner – I wanted to handle everything on my own. I am SO glad I listened to the advice to hire one, especially living out of town from where our wedding was held, because our day would not have been what it was without Abbey.
We booked Abbey for her full-service planning, and it was the BEST wedding decision I made. She truly became a friend throughout the process and made everything so seamless and as stress-free as possible. Abbey pours her heart into each of her weddings, making them all so unique and perfectly tailored to the couple. I was all over the board with my ideas and the vibe I wanted for our late October wedding, and she walked through every detail with me to make one cohesive, beautiful vision. She is incredibly knowledgeable, honest when I asked for her opinion, and attentive to EVERY detail. Truly, no detail is too small for Abbey. I trusted her completely, and she absolutely delivered!
Like any wedding, we ran into a couple hiccups with some vendors along the way, and Abbey was right there every time. She stepped in when necessary to ensure everything went smoothly. I was overwhelmed the day before about certain things, and even on the day of when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Abbey was the person I confided in, and she instantly put me at ease. She was not just a wedding planner, but also the person I turned to when things felt overwhelming at times. I fully trusted Abbey to make game-time decisions, including created the most stunning indoor reception set-up due to weather just hours before our reception was supposed to start.
If you want a wedding that feels effortless, a vision that comes to life in the most thoughtful and unique way, and a planner you can turn to for anything – ABBEY IS THE ONE! She is absolutely incredible at her job, and she is an even better person and friend. Hiring her is hands-down the best wedding decision you will make!!!
